Book Synopsis

From Acromantulas to Thestrals, this stunning book - a beautifully illustrated update of The Unofficial Harry Potter Bestiary - details every monster, beast or creature that has ever appeared in any official Harry Potter book, film, or theatrical production. The Wizarding World's Great Book of Beasts includes more than 200 fascinating, magical creatures in all, with each entry providing a number of important classifications, including first appearance in Harry Potter lore, location, disposition, physical appearance, attack abilities, defenses and intriguing story facts.

The book also includes rich descriptions for each entry, detailing each creature's history (or biography, in the case of specific creature characters), habitat and impact on the various stories from throughout the Wizarding World, plus more than 40 gorgeous black and white illustrations that help convey the feel of an ancient mystical tome, straight from the library at Hogwarts.

It's the perfect book to feed a reader's inner magizoologist's hunger for knowledge, learn more about these incredible creatures (including stories about them passed down through generations by historians and mythologists) and discover how to spot them in the wild―or even their own backyard.
